A big storm with lots of thunder and lightning raged through the night or so they tell me. I slept through it all. Bob was up a couple of times checking things and putting up the sides of the cockpit enclosure to keep the driving rain from coming into the cabin. Putting in the boards to close everything up would have kept out the rain - but also the much needed cooler air as well - so that wasn't an option. Somehow I managed to not hear a thing.
We so appreciated the cooler air today. This afternoon we walked a fair distance up the road to tour a submarine from the Second World War. The guys were generally interested in all the dials and levers and what might be required to operate a vessel like this but Karen and I were more focused on the narrow spaces to sleep, the size of the galley and the huge cans of vegetables, fruit and stew tucked in every available space (actually dummy cans - empty now).
The water in the lake is still churned up from the winds last night and waves are supposed to be 5 ft. plus. We hope to find calmer waters tomorrow on our way to our next stop - Vermillion, Ohio.
